Name	Research Area & Research interests	Memberships
Marlene Bartos Institute of Physiology I	Neurosciences - Cellular basis of information processing in the brain. Our goal is to understand how information is encoded, stored and retrieved from neuronal networks.	SFB/TRR 384
Johann Bollmann Institute of Biology I	Neurosciences - Understanding neural circuits and underlying behavior in genetic model organisms, using genetics, functional imaging and electrophysiology / Visual information processing and motor control in the vertebrate central nervous system / Development of neural circuits in the zebrafish model system.
Igor Delvendahl Institute of Physiology II	Neurosciences - My lab investigates the synaptic basis of neural function using electrophysiology, live imaging, transcriptomics, and computational modeling. We focus on understanding the mechanisms that enable dynamic adaptation of synaptic transmission and the functioning of the cerebellar cortex.
Ilka Diester Institute of Biology III / IMBIT	Neurosciences - Neuronal underpinnings of motor control / Neuronal underpinnings of cognitive control / Prefrontal-motor interactions / Brain Computer Interfaces / Optogenetics Electrophysiology / Calcium Imaging	SFB/TRR 384
Máté Döbrössy Dept. of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, University Medical Center	Neurosciences - The behavioral, physiological and biological consequences of neurostimulation (e.g. DBS, optogenetics, focused ultrasound) in experimental models of Depression; and the neurobiology and the neurocircuitry associated with Depression.
Akos Kulik Institute of Physiology II	Neurosciences - Subcellular organization and functional interaction of metabotropic receptors and their effector ion channels / Dynamics of the surface expression and subunit composition of synapse-related proteins / Activity-dependent structural and molecular alterations of central neurons / High-resolution quantitative immunoelectron microscopy / Electrophysiology / Pharmacology	SFB/TRR 384
Johannes Letzkus Institute of Physiology I	Neurosciences - The overarching aim of my lab is to understand mechanistically how neocortex contributes to higher brain functions such as sensory perception, memory and attention.	SFB/TRR 384
Melanie Meyer-Lühmann Dept. for Neurology and Neuroscience, University Medical Center	Neurosciences - tba
Claus Normann Dept. of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University Medical Center	Neurosciences - Synaptic plasticity, molecular mechanisms of depression, translational research and development of antidepressant strategies and biomarkers
Christian Schachtrup Institute for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Dept. Molecular Embryology	Neurosciences - Understanding blood-derived coagulation factors in orchestrating CNS scar formation and harnessing Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) for improving CNS repair. We are testing the effects of modified endogenous NSCs and modified transplanted iPSC-derived NSCs on immunmodulation, scar formation and functional regeneration.
Andreas Schulze-Bonhage Freiburg Epilepsy Center, Department of Neurosurgery	Neurosciences - Clinical neurophysiology, EEG-correlates of cognition and EEG-biomarkers of disease, as well as electrical interference with physiological brain processing and with pathological activity (epilepsy)
Andrew Straw Institute of Biology I, Dept. of Neurobiology and Behavior	Neurosciences - Neural circuits of visual reflexes and visual navigation in Drosophila / Technology development for neurobiology and neuroethology / Neurogenetic, including optogenetic, approaches to neural circuit function
Julia Veit Institute of Physiology I	Neurosciences - Systems neuroscience / Cortical circuits / Visual cortex / Interareal interactions / Optogenetics / Neuropixels / Electrophysiology / Oscillations / Interneurons	SFB/TRR 384
Andreas Vlachos Institute for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Dept. of Neuroanatomy	Neurosciences - Structural and functional plasticity of neurons and their molecular regulation / Role of homeostatic plasticity at the interface between health and disease / Cellular and molecular mechanisms of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) / Impact of neuroinflammation and neurocoagulation on neuro-glial interactions and synaptic plasticity	SFB/TRR 384
Heinz Wiendl Dept. for Neurology and Neuroscience, University Medical Center	Neurosciences - Precision neuroimmunology of inflammatory neurological diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis; immune–nervous system interactions; multimodal phenotyping and machine learning; biomarker and biosignature development; and optimization of targeted immunotherapies to enable personalized, patient-oriented treatments.
